Well, this particular recipe is very special for all the “girls” in our family as it was truly one of the first things our mother learned to cook as a little girl. I was the fortunate one a few years ago af
ter Mom passed away to receive the actual cookbook from her childhood that contains this recipe. To give credit where credit is due, the name of the cookbook is Kitchen Fun, A Cook Book for Children, by Louise Price Bell, published in 1932!! The recipe over these many years I’m sure has been changed a bit by all of us in how much we use and what extras we add, but I’m going to give the simple recipe and the rest is for your wonderful imaginations to create something delectable!1 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
6 eggs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add milk, salt & pepper and beat. Melt butter in a double boiler and then add remaining ingredients. Cook over boiling water in double boiler for 30+ minutes (it depends how large a quantity you make, but they definitely take awhile to firm up). Bon appetit!!
*Just a note – my original handwritten recipe from Mom also calls for scallions, but I left them out because they aren’t in the “original” recipe.
